Newspapers.

Too many people labor under the i'm.
preston that newspapers should be par
excellence whether they are patronized
or not. They expect to see q paper
crowded with news, yet they will not
contribute a farthing for its support.
Very often the remark is made: 81 will
give you an ad or subscription to help
you along" Newspaper men are not OBJ
jects of charity and do not labor as such.
They give more than value received for
all the business in the way OF advertis.
ing they get. Those men who take this
charity view of the matter, are unmind'
full of the fact that the advertising col
umns of a newspaper are the index OF
the prosperity of their town or city. A
live paper, filled with business advertise
ments, is indicative of the welfare OF a
town and is the best represen1 cation that
could be made. They attract home.
seekers to a locality that would other.
wise never come. Capitalists who are
in search Of landed investments are at.
tracted by them. Of course all adver-
tisements help the newspaper man, just
as a sale of goods aids the business man,
but at the same time, it benefits the one
who advertises to a much greater extent
than it does the printer. Any town can
have a good paper if it receives proper
support. just so with a business estab-
lishment. Advertising has done more to
enrich men than anything else in the
world. A man who fully understands
what newspapers are and what they do,
never puts in an advertisement to help
the printer along, but does it exclusively
to benefit himself. 1t is a matter of
legitimate business, and not n of char.
ity. Encourage the business interests Of
the printer, as he encourages the growth
and business interests of your town,
county and State, and a live, energetic
and newsy paper will follow.-Reno

TraInps.


Something should be done to abate the
tramp nuisance. Instead Of diminishing,
the number is constantly increasing. Big,
stout fellows who could make o living any
where, wander from place to place. dis
daining TO work, and pass about half
their time In Jail. There is no excuse at
this season of the year for them TO follow
the life they do. Men are wanted in
nearly every portion of the State, and
good wages paid for labor. Those fellows
who are TOO indolent to work when an OPP
portunity is afforded them, should when
arrested, be made TO work out their time
in some manner. The adoption Of such q
course would soon cause them to give
Reno q wide berth. Sometimes good, hard
working men are misjudged and taken for
tramps; such men do not go hungry or
lounge about our towns when they can OBJ
tain employment. Some plan ought to be
devised to squelch the tramp nuisance,
and hard work will come as near doing it
az anything else. Give them q Dose

The Prohibitionists are making pre-
partitions for another defeat next Fall.
What they hope to accomplish in the pc.
litical field is drifting farther away from
them all the time. Fruitless struggles
do not benefit the cause for which they
labor. To the contrary it is only an ex.
pose of q frightful minority. Never
while this world revolves can they gain
a point nationally, by dabbling in pol
itics. If they desire to accomplish any
good they must do SO as a moral and
not as a political organization. No one
particularly objects to temperance So
cieties or censures them for the work
they are doing in q legitimate field of
labor, but they do censure such organi.
cations for trying to force their ends
through q political channel. II would
be just as consistent for the different
religious denominations to jump into the
arena and endeavor to cram Christianity
into the people through Legislative en-
actments. The temperance question is
one that must depend upon reason and
not upon the ballot box for success.

said he deeply respected Mr. Davitts services, but
regretted his latest speech, which amounted TO a
charge that was little short OF folly against the
advice given by the Irish leaders and charge OF
cowardice against the people. The tenants Mr..
Redmond said, ought not TO engage In an unequal
struggle against the bayonets or their enemies.
Mr.. Davitt, replying TO Mr. Redmond, said he
would act in accordance with Mr.. Parnel's ad-
vice, but would not be dictated to 10y any SUBJ
leader OF the Irish people.
Mr.. Dillon, speaking at Arklow, thanked the
people OF Coolgraney for their admirable ad-
herence TO the plan OF campaign. He was unable
TO refrain from expressing regret at Mr. Davttt's
speech, finding fault with the advice or the Dub
lin executive. He desired TO defend Mr. Harring-
ton, whose Official position precluded him from
replying personally. He hoped that in the future
their petty differences would be settled in the
council chamber.
